So, how'd we do on Black Friday?

The National Retail Federation reports that while the number of shoppers went up compared to last year, the average dollar amount spent per person fell-telling us that "shoppers are willing to open their wallets for a bargain."

Well...have I got a bargain for you. What if you could give someone a really special gift that will cost you no money at all? And what if that no-cost gift could significantly change another's life?

Well, you could and it will.

You can give YOURSELF as a "gift" to someone you love by taking that person on as your GTY Project (and if you're a bit behind on the GTY curve and don't know what I'm talking about, watch this video to get up to speed).

We've put together a gift certificate for you to present to your GTY Project. It reads, in part: "With this gift I promise to pass along my Knowledge, Give My Time, Deliver to you my Connections, Life Lessons, Insights and Counsel....With this Certificate, I dedicate Myself to You and Your Success."

Please download it and-more important-USE IT. And then encourage your GTY to do the same for someone else.

I wish you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons.

Now...go change the world. One person at a time.
